Installation

/modern-go-guidelines:use-modern-goIf you don't write code
From now on, use modern Go standards when writing code. Consider the version of Go in the project's go.mod file, opting for the latest language features and standard library additions from version 1.0 to 1.27. Use functions like `max(a, b)` instead of `if-else` blocks, modern methods like `slices.Contains` instead of manual loops, and up-to-date patterns like `cmp.Or` instead of nil checks.

Before starting, check which OS we are on and if the necessary tools (e.g., Python, Node.js, Git, Docker) are installed. Install any missing ones step-by-step according to this system.
Create a new, empty folder to work in. Do not touch any files outside this folder and do not delete anything. Tell me what you are going to do in one sentence before running each command.
Tell me what I should see on the screen at the end of each step. If an error occurs, I will paste the error message to you exactly as it is, and we will fix it together.
